Hi!
I've tested 4.5.0RC2 with xtest 4.0.10, see
http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1557 for details.
I've attached a test C program which always produces bad rendering
using acceleration, and never if XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy is set
(=without acceleration). The results are also attached.
Have anyone see souch behaviour?
Have anyone programers manual about 86c764/765 [Trio32/64/64V+] chip?
Is it really only GXclear, GXinvert, and GXset that fail? If so, the
diagnosis is pretty easy.
For those three ROPs, it's not really a screen-to-screen blit at all:
the source surface is not used. Most S3 chips (Savage included) fail if
you attempt to use a two-operand bitblt command when the source is not
involved. That's why there is an XAA flag specifically for this case.
The solution is to add
pXAA-ScreenToScreenCopyFlags = ROP_NEEDS_SOURCE;
to the S3AccelInitXxx function at the bottom of the file.
I don't believe the Trio32/64/64V+ had that problem. That was
specific to the ViRGE. I'm more inclined to believe that this
problem is because it's not setting:
pXAA-ScreenToScreenCopyFlags = NO_TRANSPARENCY;
I don't recall the the S3 driver I wrote a long time ago having
that feature, and you definitely don't want to be using it if you
support transparency during color expansions. The transparent blit
feature is really only for chips that don't have a color expansion
engine for stippling.
If you want to see correct acceleration code for the old S3 chips
you should dig up the old s3 code in the XFree86 3.3.x XF86_SVGA
server. I wrote that years ago.
I've tested the two settings using xtest 4.0.10 at color depth 16. Here
are my results:
pXAA-ScreenToScreenCopyFlags = ROP_NEEDS_SOURCE;
= the XCopyArea tests passed
pXAA-ScreenToScreenCopyFlags = NO_TRANSPARENCY;
= the XCopyArea tests fails the following tests:
- GXclear (6)
- GXinvert (16)
- GXset (21)
Is there any need to set the ROP_NEEDS_SOURCE on S3 Trio64V+ and not on
the other S3 chips or the ROP_NEEDS_SOURCE will work on all S3 cards?
s3virge have an other driver, and uses NO_TRANSPARENCY already.
(What does ROP mean, anyway?)
